Team Manager

As an Industrial Design Engineer who sleeps surrounded by 30+ plants, I am certainly all about that innovative and green life. And why did I want to become a Team Manager? I’ve got a thing for organization and planning. 

Charlotte

Call me a stereotypical mechanical engineer, but I like racing cars. As the Technical Manager, my task is to plan and oversee the project, which provides me with the opportunity to learn things beyond the boundaries of my studies. 

Laurie

As an industrial design engineerer with a creative mindset I would like to make a difference in society. I see HyDriven as the perfect opportunity to start making a difference and to discover and develop new talents.

Extern & Finance Manager

As a Financial Engineering student with a passion for Formula 1, I’m confident in my role as Finance Manager at HyDriven. Furthermore, my goal is to maintain strong relationships with our partners to succeed also as Extern Manager.

From my experience as Industrial Engineering and Management student, I knew that diversity in a work environment is important to me. Not only within the team, but in my responsibilities as well. Extern & Finance manager suits this the best.

Melissa

I put my creativity into painting, just like I could put it in my bachelor Industrial Design Engineering. I love a challenge and work well under pressure, so HyDriven is one I will take for the full 100%.

Danique

As an Industrial Design Engineer, I am a creative person that does not give up easily and is always open to new ideas. In my spare time I like to play volleyball and have fun with friends and family.

Jeroen

Recently, I finished my Bachelor Industrial Design Engineering during which I could express my creativity. My most recent creative outburst was designing a boardgame, after which I decided I wanted to become the graphic designer of the team. 

Tiemen

I like to spend my time being creative in all kinds of ways, which is why I am the photo and videographer this year. Besides that, I like to spend my time maintaining and driving my little old car.

Guido

As a mechanical engineering student, I like to use my creativity to build stuff and work on a greener mobility sector. I like a good challenge, and taking on the hydrogen system offers an opportunity to develop my skills further.

Sarah

After four years of studying biomedical engineering, I want to expand my knowledge beyond my field of study by joining HyDriven! in my free time I like to play field hockey or hang out with friends.

Matthijs

Both in my studies and free time I love combining software and hardware to make new and interesting systems. Aside from programming languages, I also enjoy learning about regular languages.

Daan

As a competitive person, building a race car is an amazing project to me. Aside from partaking in this project, I am an active triathlete and kart racer. With a year at HyDriven, I am hoping to launch my career in the autosport.

After two years of studying computer science I wanted to play around more with hardware. Next to my work at the team, I like to (survival) run and read.

I’ve been a tech enthusiast since childhood, though thankfully, my curly hair has never exploded from electricity! The MSc in Embedded Systems has fueled this interest towards the electrical world. Aside from electronics, I like to socialize and play soccer.

Alissa
Casper

I am an enthusiastic student in applied physics. Yet, I like to do anything but study, so I joined HyDriven! But I also like a good challenge, which is good because that battery isn’t going to build itself.  

I like a little bit of everything, from going to the gym to crafting, reading, gaming, watching movies, hanging with friends and family, I even like doing nothing at all. Just like my bachelor mechatronics, a little bit of everything.

As an Interaction Technologist, I love to work in a team on big projects. In my spare time, I love to hang out with friends, go out, drink my favorite beer Grimbergen Blanche, and go to the gym.

As a Bachelor Civil Engineering, HyDriven is a way to broaden my horizon outside of my current field of expertise. I like to run, play football, drink a beer with friends.

Vehicle Dynamics Engineer

I grew up in Geneva, and moved to Twente to study. I love to ski, mountainbike, and race karts. But most of all, I love building race cars.

As a major car lover, driving fast is one of my favorite things to do. It was only logical for me to put my efforts towards building a well-handling race car with Vehicle Dynamics.

I grew up in Uganda, and came back to the Netherlands to start my study in mechanical engineering. In my free time I enjoy playing vollyball and mountain biking.

Drivetrain Engineer

In the past time I have become an active member of the rowing association D.R.V. Euros. I really enjoy the combination of rowing and playing sports, whilst also organizing and participating in all the social activities.

I’m studying Applied Physics at Saxion. I was born in Schiedam, raised in southern Spain and currently live in Almelo. I like to play games, watch F1 or videos about engineering, physics and space.

As a hobby, i made some 3D printed gear systems so when i got the opportunity at HyDriven to design a custom gearbox i took it. Also, i like working on cars and just generally building stuff.

Besides studying Mechanical Engineering at the UT, I enjoy putting engineering into practice, for example by restoring my dad’s vintage motorcycle. Additionally, I like to play soccer in my free time.

I have a bachelor’s degree of Technical Medicine. In my free time I like to play field hockey and go to the gym. Baking, travelling and socializing with friends are things I also love to do. 

As a mechanical engineer with an interest in rollercoasters, I’m your go-to chassis designer. When I’m not busy developing the chassis, you can probably find me horseback riding, buried in a good book, or gaming away.
